Jordan Love vs Kyler MurrayWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

DraftCall Analytics

It is nearly a coin flip, but lean Jordan Love over Kyler Murray in 2026.

Jordan Love (15.7 PPG) and Kyler Murray (15.6) finished 2025 separated by under a point per game. Love also stayed healthier, playing 15 games to 5, which steadies his weekly floor. Both land in Tier 4 at the position, so this is closer than the raw gap suggests.

The Bottom Line

Statistically, Jordan Love and Kyler Murray are interchangeable on a season-long basis. The 0.1-PPG gap is one broken play per game. For weekly start/sit calls, check opponent defense and recent form before defaulting to the name.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Jordan Love vs Kyler Murray: The Full Breakdown

Jordan Love (15.7 PPG) and Kyler Murray (15.6 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025.

Jordan Love played 15 games for the Green Bay Packers; Kyler Murray suited up 5 times for the Arizona Cardinals.

A 0.1-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Jordan Love threw for 3381 yards and 23 touchdowns, while Kyler Murray posted 962 yards and 6 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Jordan Love sits Week 11 while Kyler Murray is off Week 14. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
